Preserved cod holds up well to several hours in the slow cooker. Salting and drying fish and packing it in barrels is a time-honored method of preservation brought to California by Portuguese immigrants like my grandmother’s people, who came to this country from their home in the Azores.

Cooks' Note

Suggested Beverage: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or Gewürztraminer.
